Because the mold itself is a relatively on-site technology, it is best to understand it through on-site work or on-site practice. You don't need many books, just one book. It would look more delicious if no one told you. I suggest you don't read too many books on this subject, and you will understand it slowly.
It's best to learn CAD before reading mold books, such as AUTOCAD UGNX PRO/E SOLIDWORKS (mainly mechanical design), because no matter what mold design you do, you have to use two-dimensional or three-dimensional software, and finally you have to understand drawings.
Finally, I suggest you buy a mechanical drawing first, so that you can understand the part drawing, which will get twice the result with half the effort. Re-learn software, and finally learn mold design or mold NC machining.
